Reality Labs is looking to solve the problem of creating the future of virtual and augmented reality by developing technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including computer vision, and passing the Visual Turing test.
Requirements
- Experience designing, conducting, and analyzing the results of psychophysical experiments related to visual perception, computer graphics, and/or display systems
- Experience with scientific programming languages (e.g., Python and Matlab) including their use to script psychophysical experiments
- Demonstrated experience leveraging vision science data and principles to guide visual perception research in applied settings, especially for head-mounted displays
- Experience with Unity/C-Sharp, particularly including the development of psychophysical experiments
- Experience with C++ (or similar) programming languages, as demonstrated by software engineering experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or PhD papers
Responsibilities
- Work on topics in vision science (image quality, motion perception, binocular vision, eye movements, color vision, multisensory cue combination, etc.) to support novel research in AR/VR head-mounted display technologies.
- Conceive, develop, and conduct psychophysical user studies on both benchtop testbeds and head-mounted prototypes to help guide emerging AR/VR display technologies.
- Conceive and develop novel simulations and models of visual perception to help guide emerging AR/VR display technologies.
- Collaborate and communicate with scientists and engineers across a variety of disciplines to design vision science studies in an applied context
Other
- In the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Vision Science, Computer Graphics, or related field
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
- Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship
- Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment
